Wandernde Null

Anyone remember in the way-back when Germans were saying that once their G36 got hot, the zero shifted and they started to miss?

The German government investigation moves slow, but grinds fine.

Random sampling of rifles reveals no change of zero in the guns in the inventory.  This was also noticed by many gun bloggers shooting their semi-auto clones, but the semi-auto clone might not meet the same specifications as guns for the Heer.

These same rifles all met the accuracy standard required of the specification, which is on par with other 5.56 battle rifles.

At the end of the day it turns out to be a training issue and not a weapon issue.

To the point of not being certain that rifles going into combat being zeroed at all.  !!!

But the real issue is the Germans not getting training that let them react constructively to incoming fire then blaming their poor response on the tools at hand.

PS:

If someone can find the article I read, I'd appreciate it.  It was in German and I read it translated by Google.  It was published this year amid the debates about actually spending the money to replace them.

My search history got wiped when I forgot to isolate it from CCleaner...

PPS:

It's the gun!  No it isn't!  Yes it is!  Nuh uh!  Uh huh!  Repeats in several cycles around this gun in the German media too, so this latest "revelation" could be just another cycle.
